Remembrance day is a time to look back and be thankful to all those who served this country. I like to get away so headed out to lush Tarra–Bulga rainforest in Gippsland for some reflection time. Does make a tough walk a little easier when I think of our heroes of war.

Hiked from Tarra–Bulga National Park visitor centre in tiny Gippsland township of Balook to Tarra Valley National Park Picnic Area,

The Lakes National Park is a bushland reserve bordered on three sides by Lakes. We explored the area on bicycle, covering 33 km along gravel Lake Side Tracks. Checked out Lake Reeve Nature Trail featuring the Lookout Tower with magnificent views of the Gippsland Lakes system. Rode via Lake Victoria Track through sandy bush trails .. with many soft patches ... 10km of the track (after Emu Bight Camping area) is signed "4WD only". It was a rugged tough ride with lots of pushing. The peaceful bushland picnic area at Point Wilson Jetty was a most welcomed sight. We returned to the carpark via the very corrugated gravel Lake Reeve Road.

Bairnsdale to Bruthen is the first 32km section of the magnificent 100 Km Bairnsdale to Orbost rail trail. Start at Howitt Park in Bairnsdale, ride around Howitt park untill you see the Rail trail sign. The first 9km from Bairnsdale to Nicholson is sealed path and remaining 25km to Bruthen is along smooth gravel surface. Trail runs through picturesque farmland with views of Tambo Valley.
